Luigi Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 We've celebrated ordinations recently. Let's celebrate incoming novices and seminary classes. They may not all stay, depending on what they discern in their novitiates, but we can be glad that they're even giving religious/priestly life a shot. Dominican Friars - Southern Province (Martin De Porres): 3 novices Dominican Friars - Central Province (St. Albert the Great): 4 novices, at least St. Bernard Abbey - Cullman, AL: 3 novices (on top of 6 last year)
Luigi Posted July 3, 2014 Author Posted July 3, 2014 Mary, Mother of the Church Benedictine Abbey in Richmond, VA received four candidates (I guess that's the same as novices?) in May. A picture of them is currently rotating on the abbey web page: http://richmondmonks.org/ What makes that especially important is that there are only eight monks in solemn vows, so they really need the newbies. But I think they also received two other men last year. So things are looking up for this community.
Luigi Posted July 13, 2014 Author Posted July 13, 2014 (edited) St. Joseph's Trappist Abbey (Spencer, MA) - two new novices in July. There are now a total or two brothers in temporary vows, three novices, and an observer. Check their website, find the Abbey Diary, and look up July 2014. Edited July 13, 2014 by Luigi
Nunsuch Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Monroe, MI, IHMs: 2 novices in June, and 2 candidates (postulants). Baltimore, MD, Carmel: 2 novices in May.
krissylou Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 St. Joseph's Trappist Abbey (Spencer, MA) - two new novices in July. There are now a total or two brothers in temporary vows, three novices, and an observer. Check their website, find the Abbey Diary, and look up July 2014. Excellent! Their sister abbey has two postulants (one new, one about to receive the habit) two in temporary vows (one due for perpetual any day now, one has a ways to go) and just celebrated a solemn profession a couple months ago.
DameAgnes Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Excellent! Their sister abbey has two postulants (one new, one about to receive the habit) two in temporary vows (one due for perpetual any day now, one has a ways to go) and just celebrated a solemn profession a couple months ago. Which abbey is that? Is there a url?
Luigi Posted July 14, 2014 Author Posted July 14, 2014 I think she's referring to St. Mary's Trappist Abbey in Massachusetts. http://abbey.msmabbey.org/

Luigi Posted July 31, 2014 Author Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) Currently running on the web page of the Central Province (St. Albert) Dominicans are brief bios of the EIGHT novices in the class of 2014. SEE: opcentral.org/ I had originally reported four novices, but I stand happily corrected. Edited July 31, 2014 by Luigi

That's a whole lottoa white habits!
